Frequent urination vitamin b12

Common Questions and Answers about Frequent urination vitamin b12

frequent-urination

For the past two and a half years, I've had a problem with frequenturination. No incontinence of any kind, but I tend to pee on average 12-20 times a day. Sometimes I'll be up one or two times at night, sometimes more and sometimes not at all. I DO drink quite a bit of fluid. I tend to average 50-100+ ounces of fluid a day. Usually once a day I'll have a cup of tea, but I don't drink a ton of coffee or any soda at all.

I have for the last few months been having issues with waking 2 times a night to urinate.
The last couple of weeks I have also developed frequenturination during the day ( every 1-2 hours)
In total I am urinating at least 10 times a day.
I recently had my physical and was advised my urine tests came back with no signs of bladder infection. The only issues with my blood were low iron and vitamin B-12. Kidney function tests were fine.

I was placed on supplemental vitaminb12. Ever since taking it my levels have been sky high which is unusual because gastric bypass patients tend to be low hence the need for supplements. I was told to back off on the amount I take which I have and my levels are still remarkably high. The MD states it is because I still make it.

For the last 8 months or so, i have been recurring symptoms of either frequenturination, feeling of not having voided, or both.
It all started initially with frequent urination for which my primary care physician put me on a dose of Vesicare (Solifenacin). I took it for about a week, and was fine for few days, but then the symptoms again showed up. In the meantime, he had me take urine culture tests, blood tests, and a did a physical exam of my prostate. They all seemed to be normal.

I'm tired a lot and have frequent urination with urgency. My lastest blood work= HDL 39, Vitamin D low less than 20 and also B12 on the low side.
My doctor was not alarmed and recommended vitamin supplement and excerise. I am so upset can someone please tell me how these results relate?

I asked the nurse at the Mayo clinic why I would be B12 and Vitamin D deficient and she said that a lot of people of Vitamin D deficient. I'm waiting on the doctor's recommendation for the Mayo Clinic...should be getting that any day...I just went there in September. Was frustrated at the doctors here because we couldn't find anything and I felt I was missing out in life. I have two children, this happened after my second child was born, about 8 months after. Thanks for listening!

I disagree with des900 because thyroid hormone deficiency itself is a frequent cause for low Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin due to the effect of low stomach acid from the hypothyroidism, resulting in oor absorption of vitamins and nutrients. So if anything is to deferred, it is the D, B12 and ferritin supplementation; however, there is no reason to address these actions sequentially. that only delays getting symptom relief for the patient.

heart palpitations, nausea, diarrhea, frequenturination, joint/muscle aches (worsening my back problem). Other older friends of mine also report intolerance typically muscle aches, particularly in the shoulders) and frequent urination. I should add here that I'm being worked up for an endocrine disorder (however, thus far my labs have been normal but I do have tiny benign colloid nodules on my thyroid) so the d might simply have exacerbated the symptoms of an underlying problem.

My Doctor said my Vitamin D level was a 4 which was too low so he gave me Vitamin D pills plus the vitaminB12 shot.
Not long after I started breaking out in boils in certain regions of my body. I had no clue what was causing it and the vitamins were my last thought because I didn't know we could be allergic to vitamins. I finally ran it through my mind 2 months later after excruciating boils and did an experiment and stopped taking both the D & B12.

frequent thirst (especially upon waking), frequenturination, and deep pain behind the left rib/breastbone (in the side/back) upon lying down and on certain movements.
My blood sugar and thyroid are normal.
Thanks a bunch!

Without the ability to examine and obtain a history, I can not tell you what the exact cause of the symptoms is. However I will try to provide you with some useful information.
How low was your B12? VitaminB12 deficiency classically begins with mild general weakness and paresthesias (i.e., sensory changes). As the disease progresses, if left untreated, can cause gait abnormalities.

To my knowledge, soya products are an alegible source of B12. It is obliviously obvious to me that B12 is the answer to your problem, considering B12 is a vitamin with the primary role of maintaning a healthy nervous system.
PS. Could the reason your felling bad now be a regenerative process taking effect right-now on your nervous system?

You should start by getting full bloodwork done, especially B12, Vitamin D, folate and others.( I had a vitamin deficiency - B12 and vitamin D, that suddenly made me react to milk and eggs) That will give an idea of what's going on. And please don't just take your Doctors word, that they all look in range.
The problem with Doctors is, that they don't react to a low level, you are just either out of range, or in range.

Have you ever had kidney stones, do you have frequent heartburn, brain fog, or frequent headaches -especially first thing in the morning? How about depression, frequenturination, or gut pains from an unknown cause? Constipation or infrequent bowel movements (one every 3- 5 days instead of every day?) If so, you may have an issue with your calcium levels and/or parathyroid glands.
Definitely start with the simple stuff -Free T-3, Free T-4 and vitamin D and calcium levels.

I have been feeling constantly lightheaded, nauseous,trembling along with frequent tingling pains throughout my body and frequenturination. I have done tests before and normal and can’t accept the answers because my symptoms won’t go away. I am concerned. I also have hypothyroidism and a family history of Diabetes.

Occasional pins and needles (1-2 times a day at most) in hands or feet
FrequentUrination (excessive urge to urinate, not necessarily in amount)
Waking up during night with urge to pee but falls back asleep quickly.
Itchy skin
Tightness/cramped feeling in neck and head
Is there a specific liver disorder that encompasses these particular results/symptoms?

VitaminB12 deficiency is one of the MS mimics. At the very least rule this out as a cause of your symptoms.
Excerpt from the article "B12 deficiency:a silent epidemic with serious consequences" by Chris Kresser:
"Why is B12 deficiency so under-diagnosed?
B12 deficiency is often missed for two reasons. First, it’s not routinely tested by most physicians. Second, the low end of the laboratory reference range is too low.

fatigue, itchy skin, excessive thirst, high heart rate, nausea, frequenturination, loose, frequent bowel movements (can be alternating constipation and diarrhea), low grade fevers.
I would personally recommend sublingual B12 spray. I use this daily for my autoimmune pernicious anaemia. Your B12 issues are not low enough for dementia and nerve damage yet but over time they will be if malabsorption is not corrected.

Enlarged pores on face and mild acne (I have this most days)
Dark circles under eyes (I've had them for the past 3-4 years and they won't go away, no matter how much sleep I get)
Paleness (comes and goes on a daily basis)
Moderate dehydration (pretty consistent)
Heart racing (mainly in the morning and after eating, but not everyday)
PVCs/PACs that make it difficult to breathe for a split second (some days)
Muscle pain (mainly when I'm sitting too long)
Innocent heart murmur (this one is new)

Another suspicion is vitamin B12 deficiency. A deficiency of B12 can cause a false positive pap smear (B12 is needed for DNA replication) and neurological symptoms from pins and needles to increased or decreased pain sensitivity. The the lowest acceptable B12 serum level in Europe and Japan is 550pg/mL. Check your own lab results to make sure you are above this serum level.
Testing vitamin D serum is highly recommended.

normal, but you may want to try a cautious gradual increase of your D3, constantly monitoring your symptoms, to see if you experience any improvement at higher levels, but also watching out for any signs of D3 toxicity, such as G/I, digestive, nervousness, frequenturination and other related symptoms.
You did not mention any investigation for underlying causes for D3 resistance, so assume there was none.

Magnesium and Iron can effect your muscles. High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, frequenturination, etc...
I would have them look at the Vitamin B complex also to see if you may have a B12 deficiency.
Take breaks to let your body rest.
